    This phone is not too big, nor bulky or heavy. Works fine for what I want it to do. Plus, it's made by Google which is the owner of the Androde operating system it contains. Thus, you would expect it to run well, which it does.

    Great Phone, If You Disable 5G

    I bought this phone for my daughter. Having owned a Pixel 6, I was well aware of the hardware limitations. This is a surprisingly powerful phone for the price point, especially on sale. It'll run Genshin Impact at 30 fps reliably on Medium settings. The one problem with the entire 6 series though is the 5G modem. It is woefully inefficient. Even idle, it causes the phone to be warm in outdoor environment. It's great that it's there for bad signal areas, but I would not leave it on. That said, if you do disable it, thermals are good and standby time is amazing.

    You get flagship level cameras, processor and all the smart fearures no other phone offers outside of a pixel. Being a pixel owner is just easy.. pull your phone out and snap a dslr grade photo in one click. You hear a song playing and wanna download it? Your pixel is already telling you the name and artist on your lock screen and notifications tab. Spam calls? Google assistant handles that by screening the call before it ever bothers you. The fingerprint reader works incredible. Gaming? You got a flagship processor.. this phone should cost more so get it now. Whats missing? Wireless charging and only a 60hz screen. That's it.

    I bought this for my mother and she likes it a lot. She doesn't use a lot of tech, but she was able to learn how to use the phone pretty quickly. She only uses her phone for the basics, so I'm expecting this phone to last her for some time. It's a good looking phone, too.

    I got this phone for my mom and she loved it! It did take some getting use to as she was a long time Iphone user but it wasn't too complicated. The picture quality on the phone are amazing and definitely an upgrade from her old phone.

    I love this phone. It is very similar to the previous pixel phones which I like because it makes getting a new phone so much easier. The transfer from the old phone to this new phone was seamless and quick. The camera is top notch.

    The Pixel 6a is a great phone! I can't imagine needing anything more. It's very responsive, it's easy to view and it has a reasonably small 6.1" screen, which was one of the main selling points for me, as I don't agree with the current trend towards gigantic phones. This phone does everything I need and it does it well, although I must say that I don't use it for gaming or to watch movies. You can pay plenty more if you need a really high-end display for those purposes, but I'm actually quite satisfied with this one. I also like the fact that I was able to upgrade it to Android 13 on the first day.

    very sturdy and aesthetic phone. I've dropped it multiple times and nothing has happened this phone is also pretty fast and useful with updates I like this one a lot. Only thing I don't like is the camera, filters, and the physical camera poking out of the profile of the phone but that's really all.

    It's a good phone and was a bargain at $299. I know everyone loves the camera and camera app in this phone, but I kind of hated it. It seemed as if photos were overprocessed and ended up looking like paintings. I downloaded an alternative app called Open Camera and now the photos look much more natural. Good performance, great battery life, tons of storage. A bit big in size for my tastes, but i got used to it. Definitely a good choice but you may want to try Open Camera as an alterative to the highly processed photos you get from Google.

    My wife uses this phone and complains that it has started acting on its own without even touching the phone when using it, making it difficult at times to do anything with it.

    Good upgrade from Pixel 3

    I traded in a Pixel 3 which suddenly bricked itself for the pixel 6A. I'm very happy so far with the performance of the phone, it seems faster than the 3 for sure. I did expect better battery life. However. I know many people are saying they get a full day out of this phone with still 20 to 30% charge left, but I don't know if a day to them is 24 hours or just 8 hours. I seem to be getting only about 8 hours before I need to charge up with use like Google maps and streaming Spotify plus email and Google searches. I do like the size of the phone as well and overall I'm happy with the purchase, especially for the price

    The phone works great, and it has a lot of useful features. I only have one complaint, and it is the lack of a headphone jack. That is the one thing preventing this from going 5-stars.

    After 5 months of using my pixel I can say that it's a good phone. It has better than average camera capabilities and it's very fast . My only problem is the how fast the battery drains.
